Brown Butter - Chocolate chip Cookies
I have been trying out so many chocolate chip cookie recipes and this one turned out so good!

If you guys have any recipes to share I’d love to try them all out as well!
Recipe:
150g unsalted butter, cold from the fridge is fine
100g light or dark brown sugar
60g granulated sugar
1 large egg
½ tsp vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
150g all-purpose flour
¼ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp baking soda
3g (1 tsp) salt
220g dark chocolate, chopped, plus about 150g additional for the tops of the cookies (optional)
Melt the butter until it becomes golden and foaming.
Add butter to a bowl to cook for about 15-20 min. Once cooled, add your brown sugar and granulated sugar. Mix till combined. Whisk egg until thick and add vanilla then combine in bowl. Then add in the rest of the dry ingredients. To avoid over mixing, mix until you see a few dry spots of flower and then fold in your chocolate chips with a spatula.
Preheat oven to 350 and measure out 2tbs size balls and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 11-13 min.
Set aside and cool
ENJoy!
Brown butter chocolate chip cookies offer a delightful twist on the classic treat, enriching the flavor profile with a nutty aroma that elevates your baking game. To achieve that perfect brown butter, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat until it turns a deep golden brown, watching for an enticing nutty fragrance. This process not only enhances the taste but also creates a beautiful color in the cookies. When combining your ingredients, use room temperature butter for creaming with sugars and avoid overmixing to maintain the cookie's soft texture. Ensure you use high-quality dark chocolate to complement the richness of the brown butter; chopped bars tend to provide more depth of flavor compared to chips. For those who enjoy a bit of crunch, consider topping your cookie dough with additional chocolate chunks before baking. When your cookies are done, allow them to cool on the baking sheet briefly before transferring them to a wire rack, which helps them maintain their shape. Serve these delightful cookies warm, with a glass of milk, or elevate them by adding a scoop of ice cream for an irresistible dessert.
